Not necessarily, but it helps. Much of the value system of Judaism is about community: praying, supporting, working, studying in community. Surely you can study and do mitzvot (good deeds) and tikkun olam (repairing the world), as an individual. But at its best, the synagogue provides a community where those efforts are multiplied, and each person gains from the contributions of others.

No. Unlike Christianity, there is no requirement or need in the Jewish religion for non-Jews to convert.

No, but doesn't have any meaning for non-Jews. Hanukkah is a minor holiday that commemorates the victory of the Jews against the Syrian-Greeks in the Maccabean War of 165 BCE.
